sig rifles

I was wondering how is the quality of the Sig AR rifles as well as other Sig semi auto rifles? Are they turning out a quality accurate arm worthy of the price? The AR market is loaded with options... Does Sig stand out as being an option worth consideration?

if you get the 551-A1, you get a rifle with ergonomics similar to an AR, flat top, complete rail system if you choose, but you also get better reliability and performance you cant get in an AR.. i like the sig rifles a lot

the 551-a1 does not take STANAG mags. it takes a more expensive proprietary swiss Sig mag. they rock in like on an AK.

Ive put a few hundred rounds through a friends 556. I was kind of impressed. Its like an AK that takes AR mags. Not as inherently accurate as an AR but more so than an AK.

Here's my hangup though. I shoot my rifles a lot. Its not a matter of IF a part will break but WHEN for me. If my AR or AK goes down I can rebuild it infinitely times over. If the Sig breaks I uhh... send it back to the factory? I dont like that option.

I didn't realize you could get a heavy barreled 7.62X39. Im not a fan of the camo but this is an interesting option.

Yup, yes, and yup. They are great rifles. No experience with the 516 piston yet, but the rest are good to go!
